Would it be worth the time to take my 4x4.0Ghz Xeon down, quickly insulate the board, and hook up my cascade for the rest of the week? I've never had the chip under phase change but I would think...

Ok cool, thanks for the help. I think I have 10 cores up and running right now. I'll do some scavenging tomorrow, see if I need to order anything, and try to have 16-20 cores committed by the the...

Hi all, I just saw the mass e-mail.

I'm going to be out of town most of that week, and I haven't done anything nice for this community in a while, so I figure I'll set my machines to run for you...

I'm sure there's nothing more efficient about using a ternary operator instead of an if-else block. You're still looking at a compare-jump-assign instruction sequence. I just personally thing...

Hey guys,

I've been out of the scene for quite a while now. In fact, my last benchmarking-related post seems to have been on 11/08/2006, and it was a 10.8s Super Pi run with a 4.7GHz E6600 on my...

Disclaimer: I hope this is kosher. It seems rules regarding cooling units have changed a lot since I was last active on this board. If this post is in violation of any rules, I apologize. Please...

Sure, I'll give you a basic explanation and then post the commented code for you.

Basic Explanation:
The init() method of the Applet creates all of the buttons for the calculator. Each button is...

I agree it's probably not worth the effort. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see it done just out of curiosity. :)

However, we're talking about two slightly different things with regard to...

The benefit of lowering the condenser temperature will vary based on the refrigerant being used. If TEC vs. air buys him 5psi off the low-side pressure, that would be the difference between -40C and...

You don't want the giant column of if/else if in the actionPerformed method. Instead, set the actionCommand of the buttons to something useful like "1", "2"... and then do something like...

I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you're trying to say here. Let me pick a few key points and make some comments.



Ultimately you need to dissipate the heat from your computer,...

There's no reason that it couldn't work, though I'm not sure how much it would actually gain you over an ambient-temperature-water heat exchanger. If you do decide to try it, I would make sure to...

I haven't been overclocking for a while, but someone pointed me in the direction of this thread.


I happen to be visiting relatives in pennsylvania and I have a two-stage cascade with me. It is...

Would improvements to previous entires be allowed or only all-new projects?


By the way, hello everyone. Long time no see.

System.Windows.Form in .NET 2.0/3.0 is certainly the easiest and most full-featured for writing desktop applications.

Win32 is nice as well, I was a fan of MFC before .NET. I appreciate the...

I thought that might work, but it still throws a Security Exception. I think I must not have System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermissionAttribute.UnmanagedCode.

yea, i know. i said in the first post that i can't use pointers because my web host won't let me set the /unsafe compiler flag.

Casting will always throw an exception if the source data is not in the correct format. The standard practice would be something like:



int number;
try
{
number =...

i think a bit of input checking would be good. i accidentally typed a "g" and the program threw and exception and crashed.

instead of this:



private void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender,...

I'm also a former UT2k4 clan member [CwC]. I'd be up for some UT action. :)

I was thinking about that, but I think it would be trickier around edges and such... it seems more like a fall-back plan. I'd like to keep from just dropping data.

I did make some speed...

Someone on another forum suggested an image host (to be used for certain types of images where content may be... suggestive) in which the image is hosted in both a normal form and a blurred version...

I'm on facebook and I'd friend XS people, but I wouldn't join a group. I don't like groups.

heh, the first car i bought myself was a 1990 740 Turbo, black, almost exactly like that.

it still runs well and it's faster than my new jetta... or, it accelerates better, or something.

does...

I used to reccommed DevC++ for people looking for freebies, but since Visual C++ Express came out, I've been reccommending that instead.

If you're comfortable with DevC++ there's no immediate...
